Chapter 86: Biting each other
Chang'an asked the master why he instructed Lin to catch the head and secretly help the He family get out. Hearing Xie San say, it was just that he was still happy, and Chang'an was even more puzzled. In his opinion, it should be He Huan who thanked his master. However, the master's decision was not allowed for him to question, he could only press his doubts and stand aside silently.
Half an hour later, Xie San's subordinates hurriedly returned, and the Shen family's subordinates suddenly began to get busy, and at least four or five carriages were parked outside the second gate, looking like they were preparing to travel far away.
When Xie Sanyi heard this, he turned around and stood by the window, looked towards the gate of the Shen family, and secretly wondered: Could it be that Shen Jinglun finally couldn't hold back after listening to He Huan's words? After a moment, he asked, "How does Uncle Shen arrange Shen Zhihua?" He has no impression of Shen Zhihua ten years ago, but according to Xie Zhenghui, Shen Zhihua has not changed much except for being a little old.
Hearing that his subordinates said that the doctor still went to Shen's house every day to change the dressing for Shen Zhihua, and his injury was slowly improving, Xie San touched the wound on his arm and thought thoughtfully.
On that day, he fought against the Black Turban with one enemy and two enemies, and the situation seemed dangerous, but looking back, if they really wanted to kill him, I am afraid that the battle would have been even more tragic. But to say that everything was arranged by Shen Jinglun, it is not a fact that the Shen family died a coachman, and Shen Zhihua almost died. What's more, Shen Jinglun has no motive to do this.
Xie Zhenghui persuaded him before returning to Beijing, but he thought about everything too complicated. Did he really misunderstand Shen Jinglun? With Xie Zhenghui returning to Beijing to resume his life, he will definitely be urgently recalled to Beijing in a month at most. He had to find out the truth within a month!
When Xie San's mind was turning back and forth, Shen Jinglun was looking out of the window of the study, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the painting scroll on the small table. It's like you're stuck in a distant memory.
Wen Zhu hurriedly walked to the door of the study. Respectfully replied: "Uncle." Yuan Peng's shopkeeper came, and he was already waiting in the outer study. ”
"I know it." Shen Jinglun nodded indifferently and asked again, "What about Shen Qiang?" ”
"Uncle Hui, Steward Shen has been waiting at the gate of the courtyard." Wen Zhu quietly glanced at Shen Jinglun.
According to the rules of the Shen family, even a steward like Shen Qiang is not qualified to step into the master's yard, and the master actually ordered someone to bring the eldest lady of the He family into the study, and he became more and more unintelligible. Why did the master look at her differently? If it is said that it is because the late grandmother loves the house and Wu, Miss He is just the cousin of the grandmother, and Miss Lin Er is her cousin, and she does not see the master showing mercy to her subordinates.
Wen Zhu thought of this, and saw Shen Jinglun put the scroll into the drawer of the desk, turned around and walked out. He hurried to follow.
Shen Qiang waited anxiously at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Shen Jinglun coming from afar, he hurriedly bent down and stood on the side of the courtyard gate with his eyebrows lowered.
"Say it." Shen Jinglun stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
Shen Qiang secretly took a deep breath and replied, "Uncle." The little ones have been investigated clearly, these days. Xie Sanye spent most of his time in the restaurant, and he took the second floor of the entire restaurant, saying that he didn't need Xiao Er to go upstairs to serve. The day before, his entourage invited Miss He upstairs ......"
"After Xie Zhutou returns to Beijing, how many people are left around Xie San?" Shen Jinglun interrupted Shen Qiang, and there was no emotional change on his face.
Shen Qiang unconsciously stretched out his hand, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said secretly: It's dangerous, and hurriedly replied: "Xie Sanye's side, except for the original one of his followers and two subordinates, Xie Zhutou left Chen Wu and another catcher before leaving. Among the few people, except for the long-term entourage named Chang'an, everyone else has good skills, especially Xie Sanye's original two subordinates. He licked his lips, and the thought of the two men's eyes still haunted him.
Shen Jinglun glanced at him, frowned slightly, and asked, "You didn't startle the snake, did you?" ”
"No, no." Shen Qiang hurriedly shook his head, "The little ones just pretended to pass by the restaurant and didn't meet them." ”
Shen Jinglun nodded noncommittally and walked towards the outer study. Wen Zhu stopped and reminded Shen Qiang that Xie San had been monitoring the restaurant, hoping that he would pay more attention to the people entering and exiting through the gate.
Shen Qiang nodded hurriedly. Wen Zhufu told him a few more words, and then he followed the footsteps of his master, and saw that Shen Jinglun had already walked into the outer study and closed the door with his hand.
In the study, Yuan Peng stepped forward to salute. After Shen Jinglun sat down on the main seat, he said: "Uncle forgiveness, I can't judge the number of Xie Sanye's martial arts paths, and I don't know who he studied from." ”
Shen Jinglun didn't get angry, let alone blame, he just asked flatly: "What about his three subordinates?" ”
"Chang'an should be a slave born in the family, and the other two are likely to be the guards of the inner court."
Shen Jinglun didn't show a surprised expression, but just stated the facts: "Shen Qiang just told me that their skills are very good. ”
Yuan Peng was slightly stunned. If they were really the guards of the inner court, Shen Qiang couldn't have seen that they were good, unless they did it on purpose. "Uncle, I don't understand." He frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that Third Master Xie and those two are not close. ”
"Anyway, Xie Zhenghui has returned to Beijing, and he will stay for another month at most, so let's do it first." Shen Jinglun ended the topic and said, "I came to you for something else. ”
Yuan Peng nodded and said: "Uncle Hui, I have just been to the township near Jizhou, and the township chiefs have already organized young adults to take turns to be on duty in the fields for the night according to what they said last time. This time, I taught them how to pass on the news to each other if they found a thief. They were very worried that if the thieves attacked, they would have no power to resist, and they were afraid that the thieves would go directly to the village to rob the grain after the early rice was ripe. In these two days, they should send representatives to ask for a meeting with Lu County. ”
"When the early rice harvest is over, the term of office of the Lu County Order should almost arrive, right?"
Yuan Peng nodded, and followed his words: "Three years ago, the Lin He family just wanted to take advantage of the handover of the two county commanders......"
"I remember." Shen Jinglun interrupted Yuan Peng stiffly. Back then, Lin Xiyan had to choose to marry him because of this incident. For a while, he only felt that his heart was mixed, and he was impetuous, waved at Yuan Peng, and said lightly: "You go and do your own business." ”
After Yuan Peng exited the study, Wen Zhu entered the house and replied: "Uncle, Miss He has just been to Yongji Pawnshop. Lin Zhutou seemed to hint at her and used the words 'death has no proof' to let the He family get out. ”
Shen Jinglun looked sideways. He believed that the old and weak women and children of the He family were just innocently implicated, but didn't Lin Zhutou always be fair and pursue impartiality in handling cases?
Wen Zhu knew his master's doubts, and hurriedly explained: "It is said that this is what Xie Sanye meant, but it has not been confirmed. Uncle, do you need to send someone to investigate? ”
"No need." Shen Jinglun lowered his head, his expression was dark and uncertain. (To be continued......)
PS: Explain, Jizhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the early rice that Shen Jinglun and Yuan Peng said matures in May and June of the lunar calendar. Well, the author Jun is honest, the author Jun did not find out whether there was this season of early rice in the Ming Dynasty, so this article is empty, everyone will take a look.
